Stevo985 Posted August 7, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2013 Fair enough. I certainly perceived Baker to be first choice but happy to admit I'm wrong. Regardless, I don't think it's such a mad idea that Baker be ahead of Clark. And given the response I got above you'd think it was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that we've yet to see a competitive game where both are fit, since the 3rd quarter of last season and it was Clark in the side. I hope Baker and Okore are vying to be Vlaar's team-mate from very early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adw95 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Fairly confident with this lineup: Guzan Cahill Collins Baines Luna Bale Essien De Bruyne Benteke Van Persie Deulofeu Lots of room for changes if Bale goes to Madrid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yeah I'd get rid of Guzan and put in Mignolet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bale probably won't be there. Essien; while potentially a bargain; mightn't play. De Bruyne mightn't play. Deulofeu mightn't play. You're going into week 1 with potentially half a team. I find the trick with going into the relatively unsure surroundings of week 1 is to pick a team you know will at least walk onto the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 8, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2013 WHat we have there is the classic Fantasy Team that would make a good ACTUAL team on the pitch, but may very well not score many fantasy points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adw95 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I've put Villa players in hoping that they won't concede too many and get possible extra points because of a double game week, same with Chelsea players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juteface Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I shipped Bale out, can't be arsed waiting to see if he moves or not. Between him and RVP I don't know. RVP might get off to a cack start under Moyes, Bale could stay and have a blinder. Decisions, decisions..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Michu(9m) + Ivanovic(6.5m) + Clyne/Turner(4.5m) OR Paulinho(7m) + Baines(7.5M) + Coleman(5m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2013 Does Coleman play winger or full back? If it's the latter I'd definitely go with your first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Does Coleman play winger or full back? If it's the latter I'd definitely go with your first choice. From what I've heard him and Baines will play in the 4 of a Martinez 3-4-3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard him and Baines will play in the 4 of a Martinez 3-4-3! Woah. I love picking defenders on the game who actually play in midfield (or midfielders who actually play up front) I feel like I'm cheating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 My team for Round 1 as it stands: Guzan Ivanovic ~ Mertesacker ~ Zabaleta Coutinho ~ Bale ~ Hazard ~ Wanyama Benteke ~ Lukaku ~ Deulofeu Might still shuffle it around though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Mignolet Zabaleta - Olsson - O'Shea - Jose Enrique A. Johnson - Snodgrass - Hazard - Bale? Bony - Anelka Okore, Tonev and Benteke on the bench but not sure who to put in of Villa just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 No Villa players until after Game week 3 for me(maybe baker as a cheap sub). I have 3 Chelsea players as they have Hull and us in double week. We have Arse, Chelsea, and Liverpool then a bye week. If you have 3 Villa players as well you gonna have 9 players in GW3 if none of above a keeper. You will have to waste trades to get players in only to want to bring back the ones you had to trade out. Very dumb short-sighted strategy just for the sake of having Villa players from the off IMO.

Kiwivillan Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I ended up getting Delph in my team. At 4.5 hes as cheap as midfielders come and should be playing most minutes for us. Are you lot talking about having Delph high? He's a TERRIBLE fantasy pick. Second most minutes of all our midfielders last season and scored 33.
